You remember that cave with the seal?

[ Deep voice ] Yes.
You are such simple creatures.
So easy to manipulate.
Gwen? You're scaring me a little.
Okay, a lot.
[ Groans ]
There is a pretender.
You mean Vilgax.
Yes.
He plans to steal the source of my strength --
my heart.
The witch is possessed!
Pipe down, tin man.
You might make her angry.
Heed me.
If your Vilgax acquires my heart,
he will have power enough to rule your universe.
[ Normal voice ] Unh...
What was that?
The Lucubra -- that thing that came through the seal?
No.
The Lucubra was an insect compared to --
It was Diagon. And he's right.
If Vilgax gets his powers, he'll be unstoppable.
How can Vilgax steal his heart?
And how can Diagon even be alive without one?
I don't understand.
Naturally.
You've never understood anything about us
or our mission.
Okay, then. Educate me.
The heart of the dragon is the essence of Diagon's life force.
And our founder, the original Forever Knight,
captured it long ago.
Perhaps you've heard the story of St. George and the dragon.
Over the centuries, many cultures
have laid claim to this tale, embellishing it in various ways.
Here is what actually happened.
George was a noble knight.
He served his king
but defended the helpless wherever he traveled.
One day, while in a far-off land,
he heard tale of a hideous creature -- a dragon.
It arrived without warning, from out of thin air.
Anyone who dared to challenge it
met with a brutal death
or became its slave.
Sir George confronted the beast.
It tried to seize control of his mind.
But he was too strong.
♪♪
Diagon's powers were formidable,
yet George fought on
and, using the mighty sword Ascalon
cut out the heart of the beast.
And still it would not die.
The Forever Knight cast the creature back into the pit
from whence it came and sealed it in,
separated from its heart,
the source of its unnatural power.
So long as the sword pierces the dragon's heart,
Diagon cannot regain his full power.
And we are safe.
You mean we were safe.
We need to protect the heart from Vilgax.
That is easily said, but to protect it,
we must first find it.
What -- you lose the address?
Those who had fallen under the dragon's spell
built a shrine around the heart.
It travels between Diagon's world and ours,
and it never appears twice in the same place.
But I'll bet George knows where to find it.
Why don't we ask him?
Uh, Ben?
Kind of hard to do a Q&A
with a guy who's been dead since the Middle Ages.
Except George isn't dead, is he?
How did you know?
You talk about him like you know him personally.
He's some kind of immortal, right?
His life is bound to the sword Ascalon.
He cannot die, nor can we question him.
I'm not in the mood to argue protocol, Driscoll!
The First Knight has been missing for days.
We know not where he's gone.
Then we'd better find him, don't you think?
These are his quarters.
But these runes are undecipherable.
W-What do you mean?
It's just calculus.
What's the matter?
Don't they teach math in Forever Knight school?
♪♪
Uh-huh. Okay.

Can you please be serious for once?
I'm sorry.
That thing was in my head, controlling me like a puppet.
I cannot tell you how disgusting that was.
Why didn't I fight it?
That's like being angry at yourself for catching the flu.
It's not your fault.
Besides, if anybody is to blame for all of this, it's me.
The knights, Vilgax, the Esoterica, now the Diagon --
I should have put it all together sooner.
None of us saw it.

Oh, it's okay when he jokes around?

And Vilgax.

He just blasted them with one hand, and they're all down!
You're sure they're at the seal?
That's thousands of miles away from where we're headed.
